Starbuck is doing a very interesting thing this year. They plan to give away 10,000 little unexpected bits of kindness and pleasure daily for the next 8 weeks. Each item will be accompanied by a card bearing a #. The idea is that each recipient will be encouraged to find a little bit of serendipitous joy that they can pass along and the # will help people to records and follow how this impacts.

I have to say that this is the kind of thing I wish could spread. I look forward to reading what people's experiences are._________________God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny. -- Garrison Keillor
